this study was carried out to investigate the effect of crown canopy of ziziphus spina-christi on seed bank characteristics (density and similarity with above ground flora) in two sites with saline-alkaline and alkaline soils. in each soil, forty plots were established, half in and half outside of z. spina-christi cover. in each plot, soil sampling was done from 0-5 and 5-10 cm depths. paired a...

conclusions allium hirtifolium and z. spina-christi extracts showed the most efficient activity in the inhibition of promastigote growth, but this was not total. the remaining plant extracts indicated ineffective or very weak efficiency on the leishmania promastigotes. there is a possibility of achieving better results by changing the extraction method; determining materials affecting promastig...

As a multiple function tree species, Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal) Iljinskaja is mainly planted and managed for timber production and medical use. To improve the seed use efficiency and outplanting performance of C. paliurus, the effects of container types and growth medium on the seedling growth and root morphology of C. paliurus were investigated by using a completely randomized block experimen...

Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk (C. paliurus) is a very important medicinal herb in traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to develop an optimum extraction method of flavonoids from C. paliurus by reflux extraction. Orthogonal experimental design was used to determine the optimal extraction parameters for flavonoids from C. paliurus. ...

We investigated the inhibitory effect of Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinskaja (C. paliurus) extract on postprandial hyperlipemia in mice. A single oral administration of C. paliurus extract (250 mg/kg) suppressed an increase in plasma triacylgycerol (TG) levels when fed with 5 ml/kg of lard and olive oil. The inhibition rates were 28.6% and 24.1%, respectively, but free fatty acid (FFA) leve...

Classification of Ecological Species Groups (ESG) in plant community analysis is one method to describe vegetation and relating them to environmental factors. This study was conducted to recognize ESG and their relationships with some environmental factors in Chamanbid-Jozak protected area from 2014 to 2016. This area is located in the eastern part of North Khorasan province, Iran. The study ar...

Salicylic acid (SA) is one of numerous phenolic compounds found in plants with numerous important physiological events. Exogenously application of Salicylic acid (SA) is useful for the growth and development of plants. This investigation aimed to study the improving effect of salicylic acid on the tissue culture of Ziziphus spina-christi. To study its improving effect were used shoot-tip explan...

Effects of fermentation on the chemical composition, mineral, total phenolic, flavonoid, tannin, vitamin C, carotenoid content, and antioxidant activity “Nabag” Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) seeds were investigated. The process was carried out for 6, 12, 24, 48 h. significantly (p < 0.05) improved composition mineral content seeds, particularly Ca, Fe, Zn content. increased as a result compare...

Cyclocarya paliurus (Batal.) Iljinsk (C. paliurus) is a well-known medicinal plant in China for regulating blood glucose of diabetic and is commonly called ‘sweet tea tree’. The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction condition using L9(3) 4 orthogonal experimental design by reflux extraction and investigate the antioxidant activity of polysaccharides from C. paliurus. Four factors and...
